I am not from Mexico,but with my home country I try to establish the positive points to Americans that I know and vice versa with Family or friends overseas about the positives of America.It is ok not to like something about a country[even if it is your home country] but should it hurt someone's feelings[especially if the person is considered close to you] perhaps you should keep it to yourself in that particular case until you think you maybe able to phrase it better.
Enhance and experience the positives about both,life is too short for anything else imo.

To tell you the truth, this is the first time I think about Mexico in a bad way. But you're right. All countries have their pros and cons and Mexico and the USA are no exception.
It wouldn't be the first time I say something like this to my parents. Maybe that's why I feel so guilty about being here. The fact that they gave up everything for me and my siblings, and now I talk about our home country this way?
Yes, you're right. Life is too short and I have to look at the bright side of our situation (even though that light is getting thin). Thanks Ianus.
I've also been having dreams lately about all my family being together in Mexico, just like it used to be. Does this mean anything? What do you think is best? Put my parents' happiness over mine? Or just live my life in whatever way I can until the DREAM is passed in the States? I'm 16 so I still live with my parents.
